CBT and Grief-Focused Care Delivered Online
Janna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used to address persistent sadness, anxiety around life changes, and coping strategies for day-to-day functioning.She also applies grief-focused counseling techniques that are informed by specialized training in complicated grief and bereavement. These methods focus on processing loss, adapting to new realities after death or major change, and developing routines and meaning that support healthy adjustment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janna works with each person to understand their goals, needs, and preferences, and she helps tailor the therapeutic plan so it fits the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet with licensed professionals by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits their schedule. These options make it easier to access consistent support during times of grief and transition while accommodating busy lives and caregiving responsibilities.
